AN E-BAYESIAN METHOD FOR RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF EXPONENTIALLY DISTRIBUTED PRODUCTS WITH ZERO-FAILURE DATA

This paper investigate an E-Bayesian estimation as a reliability analysis method for the seekers to deal with the zero-failure life testing data. Firstly, we introduce an E-Bayesian estimation for the exponential distribution, and then propose a zero-failure model with assumptions. Using the proposed model, we set up a series of life tests for the seekers, and apply the E-Bayesian estimation on the observed zero-failure data to calculate the failure rate and reliability of the seekers. Finally, the reliability estimation results of the seekers demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
